1、 How

1. Soil: Araucaria lanceolata is suitable to grow in fertile soil. If it is too poor, the plant will grow poorly due to insufficient nutrients. Therefore, we must ensure that the soil has a certain fertility, or add an appropriate amount of organic fertilizer as the base fertilizer. If basin soil is to be prepared, it can be mixed with loam, rotten leaf soil and coarse sand. The ratio of the three is 3:1:1. Such soil is very helpful for the growth and development of plants

2. Light: Araucaria is a light loving plant, but it is also not resistant to strong light. The hot sun in summer is easy to sunburn the leaves of the plant and affect its development. At ordinary times, it should be placed in a semi shady environment or properly shaded, but in winter, it is necessary to ensure sufficient light, which can appropriately increase the ambient temperature, which is also helpful for safe winter

3. Watering: Araucaria lanceolata has poor drought tolerance and high demand for water, so it must be watered often. During the growth period, it is usually watered 2-3 times a week, and the water should penetrate into the soil to a depth of 10-15 cm. With its growth, the number of watering can be reduced, but the soil should be kept moist. In high temperature season, it is necessary to spray water properly to increase the environmental humidity

4. Fertilization: Araucaria needs sufficient nutrients to help it grow. In addition to applying sufficient base fertilizer during planting, topdressing should also be appropriate during its growth period. From the beginning of new bud germination, apply rotten thin liquid fertilizer 1-2 times a month. Pay attention to the concentration of fertilizer. If concentrated fertilizer is applied, it is easy to damage its root system and lead to its decay

2、 How to top

For indoor cultivation of Araucaria, its height needs to be controlled. Usually when it grows to one or two meters high, the buds at the top need to be cut off, so that the plant will not continue to grow tall, but also promote the development of lateral branches
